(We pick up where we left off. Peridot and Lapis head towards beach city.)
Peridot: Can't you fly any faster
(Meanwhile the rest of the Crystal Gems and unaware of the incoming threat.)
Pink Pearl: The humans of this time are much stranger and more unusual than the last time I saw them. Their style of music is also very different, especially his.
(She points at Greg who is playing his guitar)
Pearl: It's an interesting instrument but it's a bit too noisy for me. They are a continually evolving species based on the need to survive on this planet. They are constantly inventing things to make their lives even more better.
Pink Pearl: I'm still surprised that the rest of the planet is unaware of the Crystal Gems existence. Why don't you guys ever reveal yourself to earths populous?
Pearl: Humans have not progressed enough for us to show them that they are not alone in the universe. Last thing we need is to create unnecessary panic.
(They watch as Ruby an Garnet have an arm-wrestling contest. Ruby tries to bring down Garnets hand. Garnet is just sitting there like if she wasn't trying. Rutile, Flourite and Padparadscha stay close to the temple for cautionary reasons. They are not ready to "Enjoy" being back again. Amethyst and Steven build a sand castle. Lars and Sadie are taking the day off from Big Donut, enjoying the beach. Then in the distance Pink Pearl notices something in the distance.)
Pink Pearl: What is that? (Pearl is looking around)
Pearl: Where?
Pink Pearl: There. (She points out to the distance) Right there.
(Pearl summons a spyglass. She focuses it on the object. She notices that its Lapis and Peridot coming in fast)
Pearl: What on earth?! (She yells out to the others) Hey you guys, Lapis and Peridot are coming in fast.
Steven: Are you sure?
Pearl: Yes, I'm sure!
(Lapis is flying at break speed. Peridot is barely holding on)
Peridot: Lapis slow down!
Lapis: I am slowing down!
Garnet: I don't know what's going on. Amethyst.
Amethyst: Right
(Amethyst transforms into a big pillow. Lapis and Peridot smack right into her. The force of the impact leaves a giant skid mark on the beach. The others rush towards them. Amethyst reforms to her regular form)
Amethyst: Yo Lapis, Peridot, what happened.
Peridot: I got some really bad news. Where are the others?
Pearl: We're right here.
Garnet: Something has happened. You came to warn us.
Lapis: What? How did you know?
Garnet: Possible future vision.
Steven: What's happening?
Peridot: IT'S Emerald! She's on her way here! We have got to get these people out from this city!
Pearl: Peridot calm down. Listen to me. How much time do we have before she gets here.
Peridot: According to my gem-pad, twenty, maybe thirty minutes at the most.
(This information was not expected. Pearl jumps into action)
Pearl: Crystal gems, we are now at war. Garnet I want you to go the mayor and tell him that the city needs to be evacuated.
Garnet: I'm on it. (Garnet departs)
Pearl: Amethyst, I want you to go to the armory. Get every artillery based weapon you can find. Bring the Armor of the Fallen to the temple.
Amethyst: Got it.
(Amethyst departs. The Off-Colors approach Pearl. Ruby and Pink Pearl fuse into Rhodonite.)
Rhodonite: Where do you want us?
Pearl: Make sure that the civilians are out of the city. No one gets left behind.
(Rhodonite nods)
Rhodonite: Come on Off-Colors. Let's get these people out of here.
(The Off-Colors take off. Pearl notices Lapis. She looks worried)
Pearl: Lapis, you have seen the affects of war. If you don't want to participate in the upcoming battle, I'll understand.
Lapis: Its not that. I just didn't think something like this would happen again. I don't think I can relive something like that.
Peridot: I understand your fear Lapis. I cannot even comprehend what you were going though while you were trapped in the mirror. Memories of war constantly reoccurring in your mind, that is something that would keep anyone from fighting. But there is nothing wrong with fighting to protect what we care about. I fight for our farm, for pumpkin, for our friends and the lifeforms that live on this planet. Earth is our home now. Isn't it worth defending? (Peridot extends her hand towards Lapis) Help us, please.
(Lapis is moved by Peridots words. Lapis grabs Peridots hand)
Lapis: Then let's show Emerald and her forces what happens when they threaten our home.
(Peridot smiles. They head to the temple to put on some gear. Our scene switches to Steven in the Gem Temple. He looks up and reaches out for the bubble containing Bismuth's gem.)
Steven: Bismuth, can you hear me? If you can I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry for everything my mom did. I'm going to release you from this bubble. Please don't destroy me.
(He unbubbles Bismuth's gem. Bismuth reforms and looks down at Steven with the full bearing of her enormous height)
Bismuth: What do you want Rose?
Steven: I am not Rose, I'm Steven. I need your help Bismuth.
Bismuth: Why on earth would I help a liar like you.
Steven: If you don't want to help me, then help the others.
(Bismuth did not expect that response)
Bismuth: What going on?
Steven: My home is about to be attacked by Homeworld Gems.
Bismuth: So, the Diamonds have decided to finish earth off for good. I knew it was only a matter of time.
Steven: No, not the Diamonds. These gems are led by one called Emerald.
Bismuth: Emerald. I know that gem. She personally shattered thousands of Crystal Gems.
Steven: I don't think she is the type to show any mercy.
Bismuth: She isn't. She shattered them in front of my eyes and she made me watch. I swore to avenge my friends, my comrades. I escaped and retreated to the forge. I used every available resource to create the Breaking Point. Then when I finally forged the ultimate weapon, Rose bubbled me because I did not share her opinion in shattering our enemies as they have done so to us.
Steven: I will never understand her decisions, but there's not much time left. Emerald will be here soon. We are preparing for a fight to protect this city and the people who live in. Please help us.
Bismuth: There's no need to beg. We may have our differences, but I am still a Crystal Gem and I will protect this planet. I need to get back to the forge to retrieve the Breaking Point.
Steven: Um, actually about that, I kinda destroyed it after our fight, threw it into a pool of lava.
(Bismuth chuckles)
Bismuth: Rose have you forgotten. When I forge things, they are built to last. I'll be back in time for the action.
Steven: I will. Thanks Bismuth.
(She gets on the warp pad and teleports away. Our scene switches. Garnet is at Mayor Dewey's office. Dewey is sweating from this new development.)
Bill Dewey: You want me to evacuate every on from this city? Has it ever occurred to you if such a threat was coming, you could have warned us ahead of time?! How am I supposed to address the city?
Garnet: Remaining calm would be preferred. Second, that you come up with a story that will help speed up the evacuation. Every second is crucial to the citizens.
(Bill Dewey thinks for a moment)
Bill Dewey: Alright, I will address the citizens that there is a natural gas leak and the city must evacuate. Lets just hope everything goes according to plan, otherwise I'll be ruined.
Garnet: Lets hope so. Now get to it.
(Garnet leaves. Our scene switches, Connie talking to Steven on the cellphone.)
Steven: So that's what's going. Beach City will soon become a battle ground. You and your family must leave immediately.
Connie: What am I supposed to tell my mother and father?! (Connie doesn't realize that her mother, , heard that as she passed by.)
Priyanka: Is that Steven on the phone?
Connie: Mom? I..
Priyanka: Is that Steven, Connie?
Connie: Yes, it is.
Priyanka: I want to speak with him.
Connie: Steven, my mother wants to talk with you (Steven braces for the conversation)
Priyanka: Steven.
Steven: Yes.
Priyanka: What is going on?
Steven: What do you mean?
Priyanka: Don't play dumb with me Steven. I was doing some shopping down at the supermarket when I noticed all of the Crystal Gems rushing away from the beach. So, tell me, why is that?
Steven: I can't lie, so tell I'm going to tell you the truth. Beach city is about to be attacked by the enemy of the Crystal gems.
Priyanka: HomeWorld.
Steven: How did you know?
Priyanka: Connie told me all about it.
Steven: I see. Well anyway, I just called to warn your family to leave Beach City as fast as you can before the enemy arrives. Please hurry. Time is not on our side.
Priyanka Thank you Steven for letting us know. We will get going.
(She hangs up the cell phone. She looks at Connie.)
Connie: Mom… I need to-
Priyanka: I know what you are going to say, and the answer is no.
Connie: But mom-
Priyanka: Fighting gem mutants are one thing, but fighting in a war is a whole different level. I will not risk the life of my daughter for this conflict. My goal as a mother is to keep you safe and I will not do anything to jeopardize that. Now, take only what you need. I will go pick up your father from work. I'll be back in five minutes.
(She gets in the Van, reverses and floors the gas pedal. She's gone. Connie picks up a pen and writes on a paper. Our scene switches of to Lars. He frantically puts on the cape.)
Dante: Lars where are you going?
Lars: Mom, Dad, I have some really bad news. Remember the Sociopathic Green Gem that I told you about when I was in outer space?
Martha: Yes, you told us about her.
Lars: Well it turns out she's coming to destroy us all. I'm not sure how much time we have left before she gets here, but I want the two of you to leave. If I join the fight, which I will, I don't want you guys anywhere near this city.
Martha: What about Sadie? Barbara? Does she know about this?
Lars: They do know, and it wasn't easy to convince Sadie to leave.
Dante: You really do care about her, don't you?
Lars: Yes, I do.
Martha: Are you sure you want to stay? You can come with us.
Dante: You will be safe with us.
Lars: I wish I can. But If I run, what kind of man would I be? I'm tired of being afraid of everything. I need you guys to go now. I'll be fine.
(Martha and Dante hug their son, they take the car keys and drive off. Lars waves off at them)
Martha: He really has changed after all.
(Meanwhile from outer space Emerald ship is approaching earth's atmosphere.)
Emerald: What's going on down there?
Turmaline: Looks like something has caused them to panic.
Emerald: And the Crystal Gems?
Hessonite: It seems that they are mobilizing their forces.
Emerald: Well, I think I we've waited long enough for some action. Citrine take us down right above the city. Use hyper-speed. We'll catch them off guard. OH, and I say this to all of you. If you encounter the one called Lars of the Stars, I will deal with that gem myself. (She turns to her crew, they number about four hundred strong) Is that understood?
Emeralds Army: Yes Captain.
Emerald: Alright then, lets begin.
They position them above the city in less than the blink of eye. Steven, Connie and Lars see the ship. The Crystal Gems are wearing the Armor of the Fallen. Pearl looks up at the sky from the beach wall. The ship hangar bay opens on the left side. Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst ready the cannons. Lapis and Peridot are ready to project artillery at the enemy)
Pearl: Take aim, wait until they reach the shoreline.
(Back up on the ship Emerald is ready.)
Emerald: Deploy the first wave.
Hessonite: Take the beach front and engage the enemy.
Turmaline: Let's do this!
(One hundred gems enter the pods. Each pod containing five gems each. They rain from the sky and splash into the shallows.)
Pearl: Ready! (The gems march out of the shallows and onto the beach.) Fire!
Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, fire the cannons at the enemy. Some of the enemy gets their forms destroyed. The others advance. Lapis conjures multiple ice spikes and hurls them at the enemy.
Citrine: Shield formations.
(The enemy gems created a shield wall on their left flank. The cannons continue to fire at the enemy from the wall. Peridot lifts dozens of cars into the air and throws them at the advancing gems. They land on some gems.)
Hessonite: Don't stay in one place! Spread out! Scatter!
(The enemy gems utilize this tactic and get closer to the beach wall.)
Pearl: Amethyst, we need Opal!
Amethyst: Right
(They do a quick fusion dance. Opal make her appearance. She fires a barrage of arrows from a single shot. The enemy gems are outmatched.)
Olivine: That's does it! Bring out the main artillery!
(Rising from the shallows comes two huge Gems, both wielding shoulder like cannon weapons. They take aim. Peridot recognizes the weapons)
Peridot: Everyone get down!
(Peridot pushes Lapis to the ground. The enemy gems fire the energy based weapons. They blow a hole in the beach wall. Opal is stunned by this. They enemy gems take aim at her. They fire their weapons. Amethyst and Pearl separate, narrowly avoiding the attacks. With breaches in the wall, the Homeworld Gems advance.
Garnet: Crystal gems, prepare for close combat!
(Emerald watches from the ship. She conjures an eyeglass and observes the battle. She notices the Off-Colors in the center of the city, the suburbs area, evacuating the people who live there. Mayor Dewey tries to keep everyone calm even thought the sounds of battle can be heard)
Bill Dewey: Come on people, we got to move. Take only what you need.
(Padparadscha steps out of a house holding a baby kitten. She passes the kitten to a family. They take off. Vidalia puts Onion in the baby seat, Sour Cream puts a case of water bottles in the trunk of the Van. Flourite keeps a look out. She can see smoke coming from the beach)
Flourite: The battle has begun. Off-Colors we must make sure that no one is left behind.
Rutile Twins: We got Kofi and the Frymans family. The only ones we haven't seen is the Maheswaran family.
Connie: Hey Off-Colors! (The Off-Colors turn around to see Connie) Have you seen my mother?
Rhodonite: What is her name?
Connie: Her name is Priyanka Maheswaran.
Rhodonite: I have seen her. She went with Steven and Greg.
Connie: Where? Where did they go?
Rhodonite: They went go to help evacuate the people at the Library and the Hospital.
Connie: Thank for telling me. (She mounts on her bike again and heads towards that direction. The civilians make out of the suburbs and start driving out towards the city limit.)
Emerald: Where do those humans think they are going? I am going to need them for leverage. (She looks at the Erinite and gives a slyful smile) However, where's the fun in cutting the battle short. Deploy the second wave towards the outskirts of the city.
Erinite: Yes Emerald. You heard her! Get your minerals into those pods!
(The Second wave begins their deployment; the sound of the pods is like a fighter jet. The Off-Colors see the pods land off in the distance.)
Rhodonite: Oh no..No! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! Off-Colors We got to bring those people back NOW!
The Evacuation, led by Mayor Dewey, almost reach the City Limit. That is until they see the pods land not to far from the exit. Dewey realizes what happening. Their exit has been blocked. The enemy gems begin to emerge from the pods. Mayor Dewey gets on the speaker.)
Bill Dewey: Everyone turn back now! Back to the city! (Everyone pulls of the road. The vehicles make a mad dash back to beach city. The enemy gems laugh at seeing them running away with terror. Mayor Dewey sees Rhodonite. He hits the brake.) Our way out is blocked by the enemy!
Rutile Twins: Is there another safe place? A place to protect these people?
Bill Dewey: There is, an old war shelter build beneath City Hall. But it will take us too close to the beach.
Rhodonite: It's a risk we are going to have to take. Well provide you with cover. GO!
(Bill Dewey makes the announcement)
Bill Dewey: Everyone make for the City Hall!
(The enemy gems see the Off-Colors. Fluorite transforms into the armored version of herself, Rutile Twins summon their shields, Rhodonite summons the halberd. And as for Padparadscha, she summons a sword appropriate to her small height.)
Morganite: ATTACK!
(The enemy gems lead a charge right at the Off Colors. Flourite extends her arms and summons her swords. She then curls into a ball and spins at high velocity. She projects herself forward, right into the enemy ranks and takes out multiple enemy gems. Rhodonite and Rutile engage the enemy. Now the enemy gems have their sights set on tiny Padparadscha. Five of them lift their weapons high in the air)
Rhodonite: PADPARADSCHA!
(They swing downwards. But they miss. In the moment before contact, Padparadscha uses her speed to evade the attack. Multiple Enemy gems come at her from all angles. She dodges the attacks.)
Citrine: Stand still you little runt!
(Padparadscha jumps on the blade of a swinging sword and sits on it. The enemy gems are taking themselves out in the attempt of shattering Padparadscha. She even sits on one of their heads. The enemy gems take out their own comrade as she evades the attack. Now Padparadscha goes on the offensive. She attacks the enemy while dodging. Back at the Beach wall, The Crystal gems are getting pushed back.)
Pearl: This is too much. We can't hold the wall. Especially with those weapons
(Lapis and Peridot are struggling and are exhausted. Amethyst is having trouble. Garnet's strength is the one thing stopping their advance. The other Crystal Gems get a small boost in their morale and continue the fight.)
Garnet: We can't….
(In the midst of the battle there is a loud voice)
Bismuth: Crystal Gems, remember what you are fighting for! You fight for Earth. You fight for the life forms that live on this planet! You fight for freedom! When we have something to protect, our strength grows! We are the hope for this world! (The smoke clears revealing Bismuth to the Crystal Gems and HomeWorld gems.) We are the CRYSTAL GEMS!
(Armed with the Breaking Point, Bismuth attacks the Homeworld gems. The others morale if lifted!)
Garnet: Crystal Gems, press forward!
(Meanwhile Emerald watches the battle from her ship.)
Emerald: I'm impressed with their determination. However, they cannot fight on three fronts. I'll step into this battle now. The rest of you get in the pods. We are going to attack the city!
(Emerald and the remaining forces take the pods down the eastern side of beach city. In the midst of the battle, Pearl see's the pods land over the distance. The Homeworld gems emerge from the pods )
Emerald: Sweep and collect any human you find. Get to it!
(The homeworld gems lead a battle cry and swarm into the city. Pearl realizes what's really going on.)
Pearl: Emerald, she's trying to cut us off!
